"Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness" -- is that Yeats ?!?!? I always loved that phrase. I'm like you, Vinnie, big goals for fall and trying to stay open to all the beauty and magic going on all around us and within us that we often miss ... looking forward to seeing you live again one day!!!!!!!! I love your playing and your whole vibe radiating all that verve! PS: Henry Threadgill's autobiography is really great. Best wishes always and every day
"... The Shape Of Jazz To Come (Atlantic), recorded in 1959, just over thirty years after Louis Armstrong’s Hot Fives." I read this a couple of times as my brain kept telling me this couldn't possibly be right. And yet it is! What a 30 years that was!
Hi Monique, great to hear from you. “Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness” is Keats, not Yeats, but I know it from P. G. Wodehouse 🤣 Threadgill’s autobiography is essential, and before the end of the year I’ll have something about his sextet (actually, Sextette) records. Thanks for reading and commenting!

Right??? It’s crazy! Ethan Iverson is frequently pointing out how fast everything was moving, I owe that comment to him. Thanks for reading Ian!
Please add Joseph ziggy Modeliste to your NOLA drummers .
Wow, what a mistake I made not including Joseph Modeliste!! Thanks for the catch John, and thanks for reading!
"The muse must sing" is where it's at. Seems utterly practical and self-evident to me😎.
I am enjoying the ride, keep goin'!
You’re the man Mark!!
